The digital dollar processed a record speed of 1.7 million transactions per second in one of two pilot tests, significantly faster than the best cryptocurrency networks.

Microsoft has issued a new security alert about "ice phishing" campaigns targeting blockchain and Web3 users. Technology-based decentralization has the potential to fundamentally alter the way we currently connect. According to Microsoft researchers, there are a variety of phishing attacks based on Web3 and the blockchain.

In this case, the scammers targeted high-value account holders and asked them to sign off on fraudulent transactions. Last year, Badger DAO estimated that $121 million was stolen. There is already a strategy in place for auditing and recouping lost funds.
